It is probable that the tendency towards self-government evidenced by these various forms of corporate activity received fresh impetus from the Buddhist rejection of the authority of the priesthood and further but its doctrine of equality as exemplified by its repudiation of caste. It is indeed to the Buddhist books that we have to turn for an account of the manner in which the affairs of the early examples of representative self-governing institutions were conducted. It may come as a surprise to many to learn that in the assemblies of Buddhists in India 2500 years and more ago are to be found the rudiments of our own parliamentary practice of the present day. The dignity of the assembly was preserved by the appointment of a special officer – the embryo of “Mr. Speaker” in our house of commons. A second officer was appointed to see that when necessary a quorum was secured- the prototype of the Parliamentary Chief Whip, in our own system. A member initiating business did so in the form of a motion which was then open to discussion. In some cases, this was done once only, in others three times, thus anticipating the practice of Parliament in requiring that a bill be read a third time before it becomes law. If discussion disclosed a difference of opinion the matter was decided by the vote of the majority, the voting being by ballot.
— Marquess of Zetland, a former Viceroy of India, Author of “Legacy of India ”

The Pilgrimage of Char-Dham was once known for visiting the four places viz. Lumbini, where Buddha was born; Bodh Gaya, where he attained realization; Saranath, where he gave his first teachings; and Kushinager, where he passed away. Over the years now the concept has completely been changed to visiting char-dham of Sankaracharyas.
Lots of evidence are available which mention that the Great place of Buddhist Worship viz. Tirupati Temple, Ernaculam Temple, vithoba of Pandharpur, Jagannath of Puri and many more were successfully converted to Hindu Temples.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and safe Wesak. May all Beings be Well and Happy always.
I also take refuge in the words of the Buddha to be your own guide. Take refuge in your own reason. Do not listen to the advice of others. Do not succumb to others. Be truthful and take refuge in the truth. Never surrender to anything. If you keep in mind this message of Lord Buddha at this juncture, I am sure, your decision will not be wrong. (Babasaheb Ambedkar in 1936 at Dadar Mumbai)

Lord Buddha’s message:
Believe nothing
Merely because you have been told it
Or because it is traditional
Or because you yourself imagined it
Do not believe what you teacher tell you
Merely out of respect for the teacher
But whatever, after due examination and analysis
Your find to be conducive to the good.
I. There is no god (existence of supernatural power) in Buddhism.
II. Buddhism is based on Rationality:
Buddha says on rationality/reasoning:
Do not believe in traditions merely because they have been handed down for many generations and in many places; do not believe in anything because it is rumoured and spoken of by many; do not believe because the written statements of some old sage is produced; do not believe in what you have fancied, thinking that because it is extraordinary, it must have been implanted by a deva or a wonderful being. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
-Kalama Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya
Accordingly Buddhism requires nothing to be accepted on trust without enquiry.
III. Panchacila:
1. Pranatipata vermani sikka padam samadiyami
Meaning no killing of living being.
2. Adinna dana vermani sikkapadam samadiyami
Meaning no stealing.
3. Kame su mithyachara vermani sikkapadam samadiyami
Meaning no adultery.
4. Musa vada vermani sikkapadam samadiyami
Meaning no lying
5. Suramerayamajja thana vermmani sikkapadam samadiyami
Meaning no consumption of toxicating drinks.
